Answer:

4 stations

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need to be at least 98% certain that an enemy plane flying over will be detected by at least one station, we must ensure that there is at most a 2% chance that no radar stations detect the plane.

The probability that a single radar station does not detect the plane is 0.35.

For n radar stations:

P=0.02=0.35^n\\n=\frac{log(0.02)}{log(0.35)}\\n=3.73

Rounding up to the next whole station, at least 4 stations are needed.

Use a half-angle identity to find the exact value
Tatiana [17]

Given:

\cos 15^{\circ}

To find:

The exact value of cos 15°.

Solution:

$\cos 15^{\circ}=\cos\frac{ 30^{\circ}}{2}

Using half-angle identity:

$\cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos (x)}{2}}

$\cos \frac{30^{\circ}}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)}{2}}

Using the trigonometric identity: \cos \left(30^{\circ}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

            $=\sqrt{\frac{1+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}

Let us first solve the fraction in the numerator.

            $=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}}

Using fraction rule: \frac{\frac{a}{b} }{c}=\frac{a}{b \cdot c}

            $=\sqrt{\frac {2+\sqrt{3}}{4}}

Apply radical rule: \sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}

           $=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{4}}

Using \sqrt{4} =2:

           $=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}

$\cos 15^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{3}}}{2}

A) the posible roots of the function f(x)=x⁴-3x³-5x²+21x+22 are: 
=-1,+1,-2,+2,-11,+11,-22+22.

b)
one zero of the funtion can be: x=-1 ⇒y=0   (-1,0)

c)
other zero of the funtion is: x=-2 ⇒y=0  (-2,0)

d)
if x=0 then y=22   (0,22)

Marat540 [252]
To answer the question above, evaluate the number of cookies each of them placed on a tray. The calculations are shown below,
 
Ronny              C1 = 0.15 x 20 = 3
Celina              C2 = 3
Jack                 C3 = 0.30 x 20 = 6
Michelle           C4 = 20 - (3 + 3 + 6) = 8

From the calculation above, <em>Michelle</em> placed the most number of brownies on the tray.
